hey look: it's *WONDER* card!

do you *WONDER* what i mean? well, i made a card using city crafter challenge blog's SPRING FLING color challenge hosted by the lovely and amazing cheryl nelson:



and i used pencil lines sketch #227:


and i came up with a card that looks a bit like (ok, EXACTLY like) this:


(patterned paper: pink paislee, basic grey; canvas sticker: crafty secrets; chipboard word & flowers: k&co; tulle flower: prima; ink: colorbox; adhesives: tombow monorunner, 3m foam tape & doublestick tape; gluedots, sewing machine)


and now you'll have seen that "wonder" comes from the cool chipboard word (which leslie gave me, ta v much!); but i bet you'll *WONDER* how it happened that *I* could use a scheme of pink, blue, green and cream and the PINK would be the least-used color??! yeah, me too! :) all i can say is that between the pretty canvas sticker and the chip word...and somehow blue and cream took center stage, leaving green and pink as accent colors. go figure. i like it though, not least because it does look and feel quite spring-like to me...something i am DEFINITELY ready for the weather here in the northeastern US to emulate! mayyyyyyyyyyyybe this will help??! ♥♥♥
